to se cure the credit necessary for the conduct of his business and i believe furthermore that the restrictions thrown around it wi prevent overexpansion ' some people say that you are going to establish an institution that will extern credit ad infinitum there is no intention of that kind then we hear criticism upon the theory that it is going to centralize the money power i think i can make it plain to you where the money power lies to-day i believe you already know if yo will stop and consider carefully and 1 believe any one within the soutid of my voice realizes that at this time the money power is iu the hands of at least half a dozen men we have reserve centers car rying the reserves to-day and the banka all over the country arc dependent upon those reserve centers power is great the institution of which i am pres ident carries the reserve of a greater num ber of banks than any other institution in america our clients are located in every state iu the union and gentlemeu in the last analysis the ability of those people to secure money if they depend upon me and if they stay with me and are unable george m reynolds the Chicago banker who declared the money power of the united states was in the hands of a dozen men of whom he is one money trust heads will be made to reveal plot declares judge henry i â€¢ r -\ ashington feb 9 â€” judge henry whose resolution for an in a / vestigation of the money trust hy a select committee was de v y feated at the caucus wednesday night is still of the opinion that the money trust can and will be investigated judge henry does not mince words in speaking of the vital importance of the investi gation he says bluntly that the great groups of new york capitalists through conspiracy have taken under their wing the big railways cor porations trusts and moneyed interests and made themselves the su preme dictators of the financial situation in the united states in speaking of the matter this evening judge henry said more than 76 per cent of our national resources industrial and rail road combinations is now dominated and controlled by not more than . four small groups of financiers power to paralyze competition this financial oligarchy now has within its grasp the resources deposits and funds with which to paralyze competition and destroy com petitors they now have at their feet in merciless subjugation more than 75 per cent of the vast army of banks and bankers they are com bined and acting in strict accord with the railroads and industrial trusts by throwing their protecting arms around them with the avowed purpose of assassinating all their competitors in business there is no great railway system that is not in combination with them and under the shelter of their protecting wing and in identically the same way the rapacious trusts are sheltered by them we should have light as to how these things have been accom plished the uncovering of individual cases will illustrate the system and point the way to sane and wholesome remedial legislation no men but these know the depths of their conspiracies and com binations and no other person will till they are searched to the bottom with the congressional probe examine black hand methods it is time to inquire into these black hand methods we should know something of the depth of villainy to which this financial mafia will descend before we rewrite the currency laws it is better to prob deeply into that hidden and mysterious side before we swallow the aid rich plan let me warn the american people that we will be groping in the dark and will go down into their pitfalls unless we have a thorough con gressional investigation and unearth their system their villainy and the secret methods of their combined moneyed monopoly while we are grap pling with this momentous problem this money power is moving heaven and earth to circumvent us representative lindbergh who introduced the original resolution for an investigation into the money trust said to-night it is of the most vital importance to this country at this time that the public in general should understand the meaning of its own finances as they are handled by the great financiers panic threat is made when the subject was first approached wall street saw that the reso lution was loaded with powder and lead and that it would reach the very heart of its practices there was an attempt to smother it i was astonished a few weeks ago by an emissary from wall street calling upon me and directing my attention to the fact of the immense responsibility that i was taking in pressing such a resolution for consid eration and if i continued a panic would be brought more disastrous than this country had previously known chairman stanley of the steel investigation committee who has more than once felt the hand gf the money power since he has been in quiring into the affairs of one of the biggest combinations under its wing said to-day r competition undoubtedly strangled there can be no doubt of the existence of an understanding or an agreement or a something by which these big groups of capitalists come to one another's aid in the strangling of competition and in mutual pro tection this inquiry is going to be pushed said speaker clark it is only a question of method that has caused the delay not any difference of opinion about the necessity of an investigation the committee has passed a resolution for an immediate investigation of the entire subject and lam confident that they will make the investigation thorough if they do not i think a way can be found to make them do it house votes to cut army by 4,000 men hay military bill provides for only ten regiments of cavalry 4,500,000 saved washington feb 9 five regiment of cavalry were dropped from the army list to-day when the house passed an amend ment to the hay military bill this means the mustering ot;t of nearly 4.000 enlisted men the absorption of the officers into other branches of the service and an an nual saving in pay and equipment of more than 4,500,000 chairman hay of the military commit tee proposed the amendment it was passed by a viva voce vote but only after hours of argument on a point of order raised by minority leader mann and a general dis cussion in which many republicans bit terly opposed the move â– as the bill now rends that section which provides pay for the enlisted men by un appropriation of more than 15,000,000 makes the appropriation conditional on the proviso that on july 1 1912 there shall not be more than ten regiments of cavalry in the united states army another amendment proposed was one by representative prince of Illinois asking the increase of the aviation appropriation from 75,000 to 100,000 mayor orders flags up eleven days each year anniversaries of

inquiry of the money trust speaker clark's demand for investigation is heeded washington feb 9 despite the most determined opposition within and without the party the house of repre sentatives through its committee on cur rency and banking will investigate the money trust and the investigation will be thorough and searching standing almost alone among the leaders of the house speaker clark has taken the position that an inquiry must toe made to-day the committee on currency and banking to which the largest share of the investigation has fallen by assignment of the caucus passed a resolution for an im mediate investigation the probe will go into the entire subject covered by the lindbergh resolution which includes com binations of bankers violations of the sherman anti-trust law conspiracies in restraint of trade control of exchange and discount and misuses of money in specula tion schemes speaker clark announced this afternoon that he was heartily in favor of the in vestigation and intimated grimly that if the committee did not investigate a way could be found to make them do so opposition tremendous the opposition to the inquiry has been tremendous led by such men as repre sentative martin littleton of new york who sought to block the stanley steel in quiry jefferson levy of new york who represents j pierpont morgan's district james lloyd of missouri fitzgerald of brooklyn who combined with cannon when that survival of trust government was seek ing to defend his throttling rules patton and conroy of new york and the whip and assistant whip of the house bell of i georgia and garner of texas the fight was so desperate that it almost proved successful it rrbw appears that the wisdom of the ! speaker has prevailed the action of the caucus in splitting the investigation up into sections to be handled by different committees was recognized by mr clark as well as by other big democrats as a mistake deals directly with banks ' the work of the banking and currency committee which will deal directly with the banks will bo the most important it is believed that co-ordinate subjects may be brought in so that this committee will have almost as much latitude in deal ing with the money trust as has the select stanley steel committee in dealing with the affairs of the united states steel cor poration in addition to this investigation the-ju diciary committee and the committee on interstate and foreign commerce can take up any question of violation of the sher man act that does not come withiu the purview of the banking and currency committee corporation contributions to campaign i'uuds will be dealt with by the committee on election of president and vice president it is expected that levy and littleton among the democrats and

this country to ce operate with us and to enact a law which will protect our credits and foster out prosperity mr reynolds speech mr reynolds speech iu part follows the adoption in this country by the na tional reserve association of this plan will in my opiuion provide the machinery for creating the credit in this country necessary to enable every man under nor mal conditions if he is respousible to se cure the credit necessary for the conduct of his business and i believe furthermore that the restrictions thrown around it wi prevent overexpansion ' some people say that you are going to establish an institution that will extern credit ad infinitum there is no intention of that kind then we hear criticism upon the theory that it is going to centralize the money power i think i can make it plain to you where the money power lies to-day i believe you already know if yo will stop and consider carefully and 1 believe any one within the soutid of my voice realizes that at this time the money power is iu the hands of at least half a dozen men we have reserve centers car rying the reserves to-day and the banka all over the country arc dependent upon those reserve centers power is great the institution of which i am pres ident carries the reserve of a greater num ber of banks than any other institution in america our clients are located in every state iu the union and gentlemeu

a / vestigation of the money trust hy a select committee was de v y feated at the caucus wednesday night is still of the opinion that the money trust can and will be investigated judge henry does not mince words in speaking of the vital importance of the investi gation he says bluntly that the great groups of new york capitalists through conspiracy have taken under their wing the big railways cor porations trusts and moneyed interests and made themselves the su preme dictators of the financial situation in the united states in speaking of the matter this evening judge henry said more than 76 per cent of our national resources industrial and rail road combinations is now dominated and controlled by not more than . four small groups of financiers power to paralyze competition this financial oligarchy now has within its grasp the resources deposits and funds with which to paralyze competition and destroy com petitors they now have at their feet in merciless subjugation more than 75 per cent of the vast army of banks and bankers they are com bined and acting in strict accord with the railroads and industrial trusts by throwing their protecting arms around them with the avowed purpose of assassinating all their competitors in business there is no great railway system that is not in combination with them and under the shelter of their protecting wing and in identically the same way the rapacious trusts are sheltered by them we should have light as to how these things have been accom plished the uncovering of individual cases will illustrate the system and point the way to sane and wholesome remedial legislation no men but these know the depths of their conspiracies and com binations and no other person will till they are searched to the bottom with the congressional probe examine black hand methods it is time to inquire into these black hand methods we should know something of the depth of villainy to which this financial mafia will descend before we rewrite the currency laws it is better to prob deeply into that hidden and mysterious side before we swallow the aid rich plan let me warn the american people that we will be groping in the dark and will go down into their pitfalls unless we have a thorough con gressional investigation and unearth their system their villainy and the secret methods of their combined moneyed monopoly while we are grap pling with this momentous problem this money power is moving heaven and earth to circumvent us representative lindbergh who introduced the original resolution for an investigation into the money trust said to-night it is of the most vital importance to this country at this time that the public in general should understand the meaning of its own finances as they are handled by the great financiers panic threat is made when the subject was first approached wall street saw that the reso lution was loaded with powder and lead and that it would reach the very heart of its practices there was an attempt to smother it i was astonished a few weeks ago by an emissary from wall street calling upon me and directing my attention to the fact of the immense responsibility that i was taking in pressing such a resolution for consid eration and if i continued a panic would be brought more disastrous than this country had previously known chairman stanley of the steel investigation committee who has more than once felt the hand gf the money power since he has been in quiring into the affairs of one of the biggest combinations under its wing said to-day r competition undoubtedly strangled there can be no doubt of the existence of an understanding or an agreement or a something by which these big groups of capitalists come to one another's aid in the strangling of competition and in mutual pro tection this inquiry is going to be pushed said speaker clark it is only a question of method that has caused the delay not any difference of opinion about the necessity of an investigation the committee has passed a resolution for an immediate investigation of the entire subject and lam confident that they will make the investigation thorough if they do not i think a way can be found to make them do it

inquiry of the money trust speaker clark's demand for investigation is heeded washington feb 9 despite the most determined opposition within and without the party the house of repre sentatives through its committee on cur rency and banking will investigate the money trust and the investigation will be thorough and searching standing almost alone among the leaders of the house speaker clark has taken the position that an inquiry must toe made to-day the committee on currency and banking to which the largest share of the investigation has fallen by assignment of the caucus passed a resolution for an im mediate investigation the probe will go into the entire subject covered by the lindbergh resolution which includes com binations of bankers violations of the sherman anti-trust law conspiracies in restraint of trade control of exchange and discount and misuses of money in specula tion schemes speaker clark announced this afternoon that he was heartily in favor of the in vestigation and intimated grimly that if the committee did not investigate a way could be found to make them do so opposition tremendous the opposition to the inquiry has been tremendous led by such men as repre sentative martin littleton of new york who sought to block the stanley steel in quiry jefferson levy of new york who represents j pierpont morgan's district james lloyd of missouri fitzgerald of brooklyn who combined with cannon when that survival of trust government was seek ing to defend his throttling rules patton and conroy of new york and the whip and assistant whip of the house bell of i georgia and garner of texas the fight was so desperate that it almost proved successful it rrbw appears that the wisdom of the ! speaker has prevailed the action of the caucus in splitting the investigation up into sections to be handled by different committees was recognized by mr clark as well as by other big democrats as a mistake deals directly with banks ' the work of the banking and currency committee which will deal directly with the banks will bo the most important it is believed that co-ordinate subjects may be brought in so that this committee will have almost as much latitude in deal ing with the money trust as has the select stanley steel committee in dealing with the affairs of the united states steel cor poration in addition to this investigation the-ju diciary committee and the committee on interstate and foreign commerce can take up any question of violation of the sher man act that does not come withiu the purview of the banking and currency committee corporation contributions to campaign i'uuds will be dealt with by the committee on election of president and vice president it is expected that levy and littleton among the democrats and all the regular tai't republicans will solidly oppose the work of the committee step by step and throw every possible object in the way f Chicago and vicinity fair saturday not so cold in afternoon
